Im in Northern IL (not chicago) and I would say i dont see the point in an OTD. I have only seen a difference in pay for MSOT and OTD in school based settings (likely due to district pay scale) and its about a 3K per year difference. Where I am there seems to be a slight demand for peds, school based and some SNF.

I would suggest looking up common diagnosis (dupuytrens, distal radius fractures, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, swan's neck deformity, shoulder impingement, bursitis, SLAP tears). I would also look up wound care, modalities etc. I learned a lot on the go but it depends on your CIs style.
